Hello! I'm Slanted Fish, the editor-in-chief and creator of the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB). I'm a writer, Hong Kong native, and Christ follower. My Poptropica username is slantedfish ๐ Don't forget to be awesome!
Inside Adventure Outfitters, the shop floor is now offering some distinctly underwater inspired costumes and sea creature clubhouse props! Though the Pop Creators haven’t mentioned anything yet, we can’t help but wonder if this is a hint for Mission Atlantis Island, which had its first episode re-released on Haxe (desktop and mobile) for members the last time some of these items were in the store. One year on, is the island finally going to open to non-members?
Thanks to Dizzy Feather for the tip!
Enjoy the latest fan art features from Poptropica’s Instagram stories, collected over the past couple of weeks. We’ve got OCs galore, a few memes, and even a sketch of the scary Red Queen!
Themed “The Devil Wears Poptropica,” this year we sought your spooky suits with a special twist: the costumes had to have something blue. ๐ And you delivered โ now here comes the petrifying parade!
๐ฅ Third Prize ๐ฅ
1-month Poptropica membership
“Electric Beast” by HeartOfEnder
Check out this electrifying fit! HeartOfEnder dazzled us with this casual yet chilling combo, with a horned beanie and skeletal hoodie paired with powerful pieces of wings, a tail, and a lightning staff. And keeping with the theme, blue is a central color throughout the look. Striking!
๐ฅ Second Prize ๐ฅ
3-month Poptropica membership
“Boogie Bones” by Jean of Pop
Back from three previous victories in 2019, 2020, and 2021, Jean of Pop dances their way to the podium once again with this groovy getup from the underworld. While the pulsing cobalt afro definitely checks the box for blue, the rest of the outfit also weaves in some nice navy alongside some spooky skeletal white pieces. Snazzy!
๐ฅ First Prize ๐ฅ
6-month Poptropica membership
“The Dokkaebi” by Magic Poptropican
What a beast! Magic Poptropican brings us chills with this dokkaebi ๋๊นจ๋น, a goblin-like creature from Korean mythology. Spikes abound from the horns on the head, down the back, and through the giant club it wields. Besides the peeks of blue, its bright red skin and piercing eyes also add to the scare โ a frightening fellow on par with Fairytale’s Rumpel.
Congrats to all the Hallowinners! In addition to the membership prizes, their outstanding outfits will be immortalized in our Lookbook. Enjoy!

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy Feather. Enjoy!
Brony: Don’t say no, here we go, off across the plain.
Hello everyone, Dizzy Feather here with round five of โWhatโs Missing?โ Here’s how the game works:
I’ll show you screenshots from Poptropica with a detail covered up, and you try to guess what the missing piece is. Leave your guesses in the comments of this post, and in about a week I’ll share the answers and shout out those who got any of them correct! A couple of rules:
No cheating! Don’t go in-game to the area shown to find the answers, and don’t copy someone else’s answers (best not to look before sharing yours). Not only would that be cheating others, but you’ll be taking the fun away from yourself!
Have fun! It’s just a game. Don’t pressure yourself to get them all.
Now that we’ve got that down, let’s start this PoptropiCon Island, Ep. 2 edition puzzle! You may need to click on images to view them in full.

Hey Poptropican heroes โ the limited time special eventZomberry Hero is back with a similar dose of infected zombies to cure!
To get started with this mini-game inspired by the classic Zomberry Island, talk to the school bus driver on Home Island or find its map icon.
Almost exactly like the version that debuted in 2020, your task is to search for zombies among the dark cityscapes and blast them with your gun filled with pineapple slime antidote to rid them of their disease. But if you get too close, your fear meter will go up โ too high and you’ll have to restart the level. After three levels, you’ll win 1,000 credits!
To see how it’s done, check out this official playthrough video or our Zomberry Hero Guide from when the game first released. When in Poptropica, Covid’s got nothing on tainted blueberries!
While the latest Zomberry outbreak appears pretty similar to the previous, PHB reader Silver Horse noticed that some of the infected Poptropicans from the original game in 2020 are merely scene assets in 2022, making the game much easier with fewer actual zombies this time around. Some characters were also switched up, with new additions like Burt Diamond and Black Widow replacing others like Shark Boy. And as Dizzy Feather notes, some NPCs have had their dialogue cut.
Shark BoyBurt DiamondBlack Widow
Despite the two years that have elapsed since the first Zomberry Hero event, which promised a sequel, no new levels were added. Once again, upon completion, players will simply see “To be continued…”
Besides the return of this special event, we’ve got a few spooky season shindigs here on the PHB too: be sure to enter ourย Halloween costume contestย and make some art forย Community Creationsย andย Poptober.
